Sony guy is right, low price didn't make the GC a hit, high price didn't kill the PS3.

But price does have a fairly substantial impact on sales ... For example, the PS3 launching at $600 means that it will probably never pass 55% of the sales of the PS2

But wasn't the PS2 the most expensive console last Gen?

Its not about who is the most or least expensive, it is about whether people believe a console is over priced.

The PS2 and XBox both launched at $300, which was the same price as the original Playstation at launch, and most people believed that it was a reasonable price for a console.
